One of the few places on island that have good value for the hemming and tapering services. Been going to Helen for the last 5 years. Although she doesn't answer her phone, she usually leaves a message in her voicemail, notifying you that she will be closed for a certain duration. read more

I and my husband dropped off some our pants. They have a fitting room. The owner is very friendly and nice person and we're very satisfied their work. If you need to alterations for your cloths, I do recommend this place! read more

DHP Alterations - Good price and good work! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Pearl City, Hawaii

I'm SOO glad I found here on Yelp! It was very hard to find this location but once you see aunty Helen (the owner, I believe) you forget about how hard it was to find this location! If your on Kam highway, take a left on Lehua Avenue (if your coming from Town or Pearlridge, then take the first right and just go all the way down then you'll see the entrance on the right! Aunty Helen makes you feel soooo comfortable and welcome. I felt so comfortable and she help me alter my bridesmaid dress. She asks you if this is ok. Pins it right away! She helped me zip up my dress! I felt like I knew her for a long time. To alter a dress it's $50. She only takes cash or check. She will have it ready in about a week or 2 on how busy she is of course. For my dress she needed few more days so she texted me, which was nice! I'll definitely come back!!! My #1 alter shop now! read more

She really is as great as everyone says. I walked in, no appointment needed, and she greeted me. I told her I wanted a few things altered and she told me to try them on. I had about 4 pants hemed, 3 dresses needed to be taken in, and 1 long sleeve with sleeves that were too long. It was about 60 bucks and worth every penny. She is so quick too! I came out of her fitting room and she would just pin my garments and then onto the next garment. I was in and out in about 15-20 minutes! You look better when your clothes actually fit you and I will be sure to go back to Aunty Helen again! *Cash Only!!!!! read more

Can I just say I was in, fitted and out in less than the amount of time it takes to get your food at a fast good joint! 2 week wait! I've had two dresses altered here and both have fit me perfectly! Customer service is great! Location is great for me! Price is Excellent! She knows what she's doing and makes you look great! read more

DHP Alterations - Hours and prices! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Pearl City, Hawaii

Don't waste your time or money on this place The inside is dirty and the male employee is very dishonest. He is the only male there. He quoted me a price and when I got there he higher-ups the price. Don't waste your money and time. read more

Took my maid of honor dress to get taken in and to put in a secret pocket. Tried my dress on for Helen and she even suggested making an adjustment to the bodice area that made such a huge difference. Helen is friendly, knowledgeable and the prices are pretty good. I referred the mother of the bride who was also delighted with DHP's workmanship. Will be back with other important pieces. read more

DHP Alterations - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Pearl City, Hawaii

I have had multiple pairs of pants hemmed at this store for about a year and I had no problems up until now. This time I brought some casual long dresses to hem and when I tried them on at home, the bottoms of all the dresses were crooked. The right side was longer on one, the left side was longer on the other, and it was up-and-down along the entire bottom of the third dress. I took it to another alteration store and the seamstress there told me that when the seamstress was cutting the fabric, she was probably pulling the fabric and therefore she cut and sewed the bottom crooked. I must mention that Helen usually did my alterations (or at least the fitting) in the past but this time another women did the fitting. That may be the reason for the subpar job. read more

This Place is the best alteration place I have ever gone too. At first I wasn't sure about going because when I have gone to other place they usually couldn't fix my pants or they would just be very rude. But these lady's who work here are very nice and they give options on how they can do it with explaining in detail about how they will do it. I took my pants in because It had a small tear in the back side. So she told me that she could fix it by sewing the back and can have it done in a week. The price is reasonable and finish the job on time. read more

I chose DHP based on their reviews, and I was not disappointed. I had major work done on a bridesmaid dress (hemmed, taken in at the bust & waist, and the straps shortened). It was completed within a week, my dress looks fantastic, the quality of the work is great, and it was affordable. I highly recommend this place if you need your clothes tailored. Just a heads up for anyone heading to this place for the first time. It's on the first floor in the right-hand corner of the plaza, next to a nail salon and underneath a tobacco shop. Thank you to the person who posted the picture of the front door, that helped me find it the first time I went! Also, cash or check only for payment, no cards. read more

Alltime FAVORITE Alteration go to! She is a VERY SWEET lady and her prices are fitting to the job. She has done many different alterations for me both big and small. There's also been times when I needed something ASAP and she was able to do it for me as well. If there is ANYTHING you need to be altered I FULLY trust her work! read more

I've been looking for a place to hem my pants in the West Side and I found this gem on yelp. The ladies here are very sweet and did a great job on my pants. Prices are very reasonable and their work is excellent. This place is on Kamehameha Hwy but their shop is in the building in the back. read more

Let me start by saying that I found a wedding dress that was exactly the style that I was looking for and on sale for only $100! The only problem was that the only dress the store had available (huge corporate company that is nationally known) was three sizes too big for me. No other stores had it and neither did the warehouse. When I spoke to that same company's alterations department, they told me that alterations would cost around $500 and that was only if they were able to bring it in that much. It was a fairly simple dress but they explained how they would have to move the straps, add cups, yada yada. Basically, they told me that if I got any smaller, I would have to get a new dress. Seriously? It was 5 months before my wedding and I had definitely planned on losing weight. So I went for a second opinion. That's when I found Helen at DHP alterations. I scheduled a consultation with her and when I tried on my dress she asked me what the other company told me. I explained about the straps, adding cups, and all the other yada yadas. I kind of felt like me repeating what they would have done was giving her instructions on how she would do it. Then when I mentioned what they said about bringing it in so much, she completely agreed. I swear I have never (in my life!) been so torn as to whether or not I should lose weight! But what made it worse was when I told her that I would rather not get another dress because not only was it at a good price, but it was exactly the style that i was looking for. Simple, yet elegant. She proceeds to tell/ask me, "Well, are you THAT in love with this dress?? I mean, you could definitely find something nicer than this online from one of those chinese websites. You just have to order big because they run small. I can let out easier than I can bring in." Wow. Because we're the same ethnicity, and my family has been that way my whole life, I let it go no matter how much it sucked. She told me the entire thing would cost $180 but, again, said that if I lose any more weight then she couldn't do it. So we scheduled an appointment closer to my date to "see if that was the dress I would be wearing on my wedding day or not." I felt so defeated. It was Helen's idea to schedule the appointment for two days after she came back from her vacation. I kept saying that we can wait a bit so that she can rest but she insisted. That's fine so I made sure to take off from work to attend the appointment. Come the day of the appointment, she had a sign on the door saying that she was on vacation and would return on a certain date. That date was the day prior to me standing there and reading it. I waited there for 30 minutes and she didn't show up. The phone number was a shop number so there was no point but I left 2 messages anyway. Once when I got there (because she keeps the door locked) and another 15 minutes after we were scheduled to meet. I looked up other alterations places nearby and found someone who could take me right away since I had everything with me. I learned to not say anything about the dress to this one and to see what she would say. I tried it on and she started listing off things that needed to be done and it was spot on with what I was told by the corporate professionals. I asked her about bringing it in and she said that it would take a little more effort but definitely doable. I explained what I was told twice previously and she said, "Why would you need to buy another dress? You have this one on you already and it's what you love so I don't understand why they couldn't make it work." WHAT A RELIEF. Granted she cost almost twice as much as DHP but I feel like she is totally worth it. Her company's review will come later, when I get my dress back. :) As far as Helen, it's been two weeks since she never showed to her appointment and I haven't received a call back explaining or apologizing. I do hope everything is okay and that she returned safely, but it isn't even really about her not showing up. My issues that I fought to overlook was with her approach and how she made me feel about my chosen dress, cheap or not. read more

Did an awesome job with hemming my gown. Very friendly and considerate. Definitely coming back.

I have nothing but great things to say about this place! It's easy to find, with extra help from the pictures others have posted. I needed a formal dress altered for my husband's military ball. We brought it in January 1st, and I told her I needed it before the 9th. She told us to come in on the 7th since they would be closed the next day. I came in, tried on the dress, and she then started pinning it. She made sure to ask how the dress felt pinned, she's very concerned with her customers and seems to want to provide the best service. When I picked it up, she mentioned that she cut more fabric off the dress than she meant to and was going to charge me only half the price. I already had my check written so I told her it's okay. Her mistake was not noticeable on the dress and I was ecstatic with the results! I'd definitely come back for more alterations. Not to mention that this shop belongs to my friend's mom! No cards, cash or check only. read more

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Aewv48YT_Y Welcome smart reader! My last review I said that I was going to review Kabuki Restaurant and Deli. I decided not to because I have a better and more exciting review for you. What makes it better and more exciting is that it's virtually an unknown business, the David Ige of reviews if you will. I can wait to tell you any longer, so let's begin. I'm calling this review... Drastic times call for drastic measures. First, i'm going to thank yelp and the yelpers who help me find this discreet little jewel, then i'm going to tell you how great the ladies are at DHP Alterations. Finally, i'll end the review by showing you how to find DHP with a GoPro video that I made, so you get a sense of what it looks like and don't get lost because I found this to be the an issue with DHP. I want to start off by thanking yelp and the yelpers who help me find DHP. I'm forever grateful times a hundred. Helen and the ladies treated me like I was a long lost son that they never seen in a long time. They made me feel belonged. I want to point out that another lady working there(not Helen) really impressed me because she had a good eye as I was getting fitted. DHP has great customer service, prices, and and they do awesome work. There's two ways to get to DHP, and i'll show you the easier of the two. DHP is not actually located on Kamehameha Highway, but you you need to be on Kamehameha Highway to reach DHP. DHP is located just a little past Home depot and some storage place, so if you're on Kamehameha Highway going toward Pearlridge you'll see Home Depot on your right then just past there is a bronze or brown 2-story building that has a tattoo place and my favorite Korean bar of all time. DHP is located behind this building. To get to DHP, you need to drive into the small parking lot of the 2-story building. There's a road that takes you down and back into a larger parking lot where DHP is in there own little corner of the world(literally, they're in the right-hand corner of the building on the first floor if your facing the building). I won't bore you anymore, so I'll leave you with a GoPro video of the road that goes down and back from the small parking lot of the 2-story building to the larger parking lot in the back where DHP is located. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aF7dgWvQ6Y P.S. Next up is shrimp on Oahu's North Shore, I PROMISE. And thanks for reading the review, bye. read more

Helen is amazing. Her prices are bar none. I took my wedding dress for alterations, and am having a corsette* added in, and the zipper in the back removed. She charges $50-75.....David's Bridal quoted prices for this alteration STARTING at $195, not including the $15 corsette piece I wuold have to purchase! If you do the math, it is easy to see why I chose to take my dress to Helen =) read more

Found this place on Yelp. Read the reviews so decided to bring a couple of my pants to be hemmed before my business trip. Can't say enough nice things about Helen. Very friendly, professional quality alterations, and quick turn around time. Will definitely be back. Tell all your friends! A little hard to find but so worth it. read more

Helen and her staff are really friendly and very accommodating. I am leaving for a trip in a few days and needed a couple skirts taken in and hemmed and they are taking all steps to make sure I get them back before I leave.. read more

Amazing! The price is great and so is the quality. I've been to a couple tailors on the island and this is where I'll be going from now on. Whatever you need done I suggest you give DHP a try. You won't regret it read more

Called to make an appointment for alternations (all I wanted was a hem) to a dress. I didn't need the dress for another month, but was thinking ahead. The lady answered the phone and informed me that they "were really booked up" and unable to do my dress. BTW - I was extremely pleasant and respectful. I've never heard of a BUSINESS turning away business for something so simple as a hem. Some advice for DHP - "There are hills and valleys in business. You never know where your future business may come from. Word of mouth is very strong and unfortunately the negative experiences speak much louder than the positive ones. You don't have to worry about this once-potential customer calling or soliciting your service again". read more

I always bring my good cloths to her to get tailored. She does great work and gives great prices. I've brought her everything from leather jackets to jeans. I've gone here over a dozen times and always pleased. read more

Owner is polite and pleasant to deal with, excellent workmanship and awesome prices. Call first, stop by and discuss/drop off your item, it'll be ready as she states it. Good price, good experience, excellent quality. I refer her to everyone that has a need for alterations, patch sewn on, or any sewing requirement. She has the equipment and talent to meet all requirements and challenges. Mahalo and Aloha to DHP Alterations. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would! The hours on the door are clearly posted, but this business is not open when they are suppose to be! I went to their location and the sign on the door said closed! I called twice and when the lady picked up she said they were not open because the owner was not there! I asked when they would be open and she said she didn't know when they would be open! I don't understand how places like this stay in business when they are for their self and not for the customer! For people who may of needed their item today I wonder how they would have been able to get their item where the business was closed even though it was suppose to be open! Word to the wise take your business somewhere else because this place is unprofessional and not dependable! read more

Heard about her from my sister when my sister got married and so I came to her for my wedding dress. She was able to do everything at a reasonable price at a fast rate too. Thank you so much! read more

Got 3 pants tapered just the way I asked. Helen is awesome, she will tell you how she'll alter it in order to make it the way you want it and ask if that's ok. When I walked in, I got fitted right away and pinned. I had 2 joggers that I wanted to taper which came out to $12 each. 1 denim that came out to $10. I'm assuming the cuffs on the bottom of the joggers had more work to be done hence the extra $2 for each. Overall I'm more happy the way it turned out and will be going to dhp to do all of my clothes! read more

Went to get my prom dress altered and it came out amazing. I had a problem with the length of the dress but still wanted a train. They did an amazing job giving me the length I needed while still having a train. read more

I recommended this place for prom dress alterations! She has a great quality service that is quick and inexpensive. My 5-layer dress needed to be hemmed and she only charged $40. Her starting price is $35 for hems on formal dresses. It is really inexpensive and she does an excellent job. She only took a week to complete my dress during the busy prom season. All the alterations that she does is really inexpensive as well. She did an excellent job! I would come back here if I had another dress that I needed to be altered! read more

Best Alterations tailor found!!! My search is over! She understood exactly what I want it done and not only that, very reasonable cost. Recently I lost 20+ lbs and all my clothes were too baggy. Every piece were amazingly done and in a reasonable time frame. I highly reccommend DHP Alterations. read more

I chose DHP Alterations based on their Yelp reviews. They were the only alteration place around with multiple 5 star reviews. I took in an evening gown to be hemmed and altered. The gown is chiffon and I did not trust just anybody to work with that material. I took it in to DHP and it was better than I hoped. They had me in a dressing room, had the dress pinned, and had me out the door in well under 10 minutes. As I was not in a hurry for it, I had it back in a week, and I cannot even tell there were alterations done; it looks just like it came that way and now it fits perfectly. It was cheap too, only $25 (cash only). I did have a little trouble finding them as they are back behind another building, but I would definitely recommend taking your business here! read more

Helen is a lifesaver! She is the best. I needed a gown (two layers, and two different materials) altered pretty quickly and she had it done in no time. If you GPS the address you need to go behind the shopping center, and it is on the bottom far right hand corner. read more

Helen is GREAT her work is outstanding prices are low and service is fast!! You need Quality Great Prices and Friendly service... This is where you need to gooooo see HELEN!! read more

They've got a satisfied customer here!! Amazing! I walked in at 2:50 on Saturday, she showed me to the fitting room so I could put on my dress. Then she started pinning it right outside the fitting room. She was such a sweetheart! It took her only 10 min. to pin my dress and find the correct measurements. It was quick! Definitely will recommend this place to my friends and family members! Everyone there were so nice too! :) They said my dress was beautiful which made me a happy customer! Definitely Coming back! read more
